Luckily for your pooch, you don't have to wait for her to gain weight to tell if she's pregnant. There are a lot of nutritional and other health precautions that you should take with a pregnant dog to keep her and her puppies healthy, so it's best if you learn whether she's pregnant as soon as possible. A veterinarian can determine whether she's pregnant at about three weeks after breeding, either through blood testing, ultrasound, or a physical examination.

I have an 8 month old Jack Russel. She came into heat for the first time about 4 weeks ago now. about 2weeks into it she just stopped bleeding, but now her teats are still huge and seem to be getting milk in them. We also have a male Yorkie-Poo and they stay together all the time. I tried to keep her covered up but somehow they always got her little diaper off. Everytime I would catch them they hadn't done anything yet, but there still may be a chance that I wasn't always quick enough.

My dog recently went into heat and she shares a kennel with a male dog. I would like to know how do I know if she's pregnant? What sign do I have to watch for? She has been laying around and she doesn't really like to play anymore. Her tits are growing bigger and she went out of heat a week and a half ago. If I find out she is pregnant what kind of dog foods do I feed her? What type of vitamins do I give? She is eating pedigree dry dog food now.

My dog is a 1/2 chihuaha and 1/2 dochson. I know she is pregnant because I can feel the puppies move and she has milk in 2 of her nipples. She has gotten large and fast. I was wondering when she might deliver so that I can be home in case she needs help.

she was a heatltly good looking dog,till she got pregnant about 3 wks. ago.She looks all boney on top and really huge in the belly.she eats sometimes good then she hardly eats at all. She is pregnant for sure i know. Help please.

We just noticed that our small Papillon dog has milk coming out of her nipples and her belly is swollen (the part of her belly that is swollen is right above her genitals) and she has been dragging tissue, napkins and dirty laundry into her bed. Her fur on her belly is all stiff and sticky feeling. Is she pregnant, because her belly is swollen? She is a house dog and just goes into the enclosed privacy fenced back yard to potty. I cannot imagine how she could really be pregnant.

If you do not get your dog spayed, they may become pregnant. You will not be able to tell if your dog is pregnant until 5-6 weeks after breeding. The pregnancy will last 63 days. Signs may include enlarged nipples and a swollen belly from around 4-5 weeks. We would recommend taking your dog to the vets for a check-up to confirm pregnancy. Once there, the vet will be able to advise on the best course of action.

A missed period is the most common symptom of pregnancy. However a woman's cycle can be affected by illness, travel, stress and changes in eating and sleeping habits. Other signs of pregnancy include nausea, headaches, inexplicable fatigue, sore, tender or enlarged breasts and frequent urination. The best method of determining pregnancy is through a pregnancy test, either a home test or one done in a clinic or your doctor's office.

I have a miniature pinscher that is 2 1/2 years old. I bred her for the first time but the dogs did not tie. She is showing some signs of pregnantcy but I don't feel any puppies and she really hasn't gotten any bigger, maybe a little wider in her ribs. She has just a drop of milk in her lower nipples. She would be due in 2 days. I started taking her temp just incase and it is 99.7. Does a dogs temp drop if it's a false pregnancy? Could somebody let me know as soon as possible, please.

Most ear infections are obvious as there is a pungent odor and waxy discharge in the affected ear. However, sometimes an ear will look perfectly normal from the outside but will be intensely itchy for the dog. Either way, it is best to have a vet examine in the ear to ensure that there are no foreign bodies such as a grass seed stuck in the ear canal. Common signs of an ear infection are:

I believe my dog is about to have her puppies, but I have no clue what the symptoms are before they go into labor or when they go in labor. Can someone help me out? Thanks!!

No. This is not a pregnancy test. You should perform an initial in-home pregnancy test (E.P.T.) and, subsequently, see your doctor for their medical blood test determination. No! Prenatal care is very important. You should see your healthcare provider on a regular basis throughout your pregnancy to ensure the health of you and your baby. There is much more that your doctor looks for than just the sex of your baby.

It is very difficult to determine the age of a fruit jar without seeing it. However, there are a few ways to make an educated guess at the date of an antique jar or bottle. Probably the most important is the presence or absence of a pontil scar. The pontil scar - a ring of glass or a black and red iron-like indention on the base of a bottle or jar - indicates that a glassblower held the item on a pontil rod (when the glass was hot) while the neck and/or lip was shaped and finished by hand.

Our general rule of thumb is to feed your pet a good quality dog food and no table scraps. We carry and recommend Iams, Eukanuba and Science Diet. We recommend switching them to a puppy food two weeks prior to giving birth. It is not recommended in most cases to supplement with calcium prior to giving birth, however, during lactation it may be advisable.

The first sign of pregnancy is usually the absence of a period. Other symptoms of pregnancy can include tender breasts, nausea and tiredness but not everybody experiences these. If you suspect you are pregnant you should take a pregnancy test. This can be done at a clinic, or you can buy a home testing kit from most major supermarkets and pharmacies. If you use a home test kit it is important to get the result confirmed by your doctor or healthcare professional at a local clinic.

Livebearers are voracious eaters and sometimes their stomachs bulge after a full meal. Pregnant livebearers bulge in the stomach area, and it doesn't subside after feeding time -- it just keeps growing. Light colored livebearers develop an obvious darkening of the skin, called a "gravid spot," right at the anal area. The spot enlarges and grows darker as the pregnancy progresses. It's like a window to the little babies inside.

If you are charting and you know when you O then you can count how many days it has been since you O'd and see if your temps are above your cover line. If you have 18 or more days of temps above your cover line, there is a 99% chance that you are pregnant! There is a 1% chance that you are not pg. If you have more then 18 days of high temps and are testing negative with HPTs, call your doctor and have a blood test done.

This is one of the most common questions asked about pregnancy in cats. Unfortunately, although many people are hoping for a negative reply, the answer is too often "yes."

Mr. Reeser gave the opinion that he felt the picture was offensive because it was -- it depicted male nudity. And all of us agreed with him, that it could certainly be taken as that. I didn't have a problem agreeing with him on that. And then Mr.

I am really confused on have a couple questions that hopefully someone can help me with. I have been under a lot of stress. Recently broke up with my boyfriend. I stopped taking my pills about a month and a half ago. We have had sex since then. I am not exactly sure when my last period was. I think I started spotting around 8/14 and had a very light period on the 17th and 18th. When can I consider my period started. I guess I am just scared of the possibility of being pregnant.
